The website Change.org, and the families of Fort Hood, are circulating a petition aimed at the Fort Hood MWR to keep the Fort Hood Skate Rink open for roller skating and other activities.

The rink is one of a few places on post for kids and families to go on weekends. Several military families are heading to the website to sign the petition. Here are some of the comments from folks signing the petition.

The Fort Hood MWR site lists the hours to the skate rink as open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The rink also has a Facebook page with lots of local support. To sign the petition you can link here to add your signature.

I have been voluntering my time teaching at the rink since 1991 and I don't want it to close. I'm 72 and a retired sgm. John Prince, Killeen, Texas.

Skateworld in Killeen is just about the only other near-by skate rink for military family's. Details on Skateworld can be found at www.SkateworldKilleen.com
